What is this blog about?
At all about presentations I discuss everything related to making presentations. How to create meaningful content, how to prepare well, how to design slides and how to deliver confidently. These tips are relevant to every kind of presentation.
I had written about showcasing a product on a slide a few weeks back. We have a product image on the slide, how do we make it more appealing. The trick was 'reflection'. Using this effect we create a feel that the product is lying on a glass surface.
After writing about it, I have been more watchful to see this effect in real life. I happened to see this effect being employed by many companies. See the image above, it has been taken from the website of Videocon, a large business house in India. This one is from the website of Phillips.
The bulb image without the reflection might have looked a bit boring. A reflection below brings in a bit of 3D effect, makes it more realistic. Check out one more from the afaqs.com website.
Check this last one out (from Samsung Mobile website).
A quick recap on how to add reflection in MS PowerPoint 2010. Select the image -> Go to Picture Tools tab on top -> Choose Format -> Under Picture Styles choose Picture Effects -> Reflection -> Choose the first option (which has the least reflection)

Vivek,
I changed a bunch of my slides after reading your first Post about about showcasing a product.
The slides look a LOT better!
Thanks very much for the advice.
@Fred Great to hear that. I am glad I could be of help. Even I have started implementing this in my presentations.
